Talua

Product Overview

This library contains beautiful and imperfect Glass and Bell sounds along with textures to colorize your tracks.

It also includes a variety of presets (49 Patches and 18 Multis) where we really mangled the sounds and took advantage of the engine.

DETAILS

The library is built within a dual layer engine so you can easily mix two sounds together and adjust settings for each one individually. The interface gives you full ADSR control and has a master section where you can set Stereo width, Filter (LP) cutoff, Output gain and Panorama position. There are also octave and sample offset controls; available for each layer individually as well.

MOTION

Talua carries 4 LFOs (two per layer), all time independent from each other.

You can also route each LFO to Volume, Pan and Cutoff at the same time by just moving the red intensity knobs of the respective Modulator.

The following features are available for each LFO:

Waveform (Select from Sine, Triangle, Saw and Rectangle)

Sync value (Set the Sync Rate of the LFO)

Multiplier (Multiplies the Sync Rate by this value)

PW (Determine the Pulsewidth of the Wave; Only applies to Rectangle Wave)

Vol, Pan, Cut (Set how much the LFO should modulate the three parameters)

The Motion tab is only available for the textures patches.

EFFECTS

The Fx rack includes an EQ (one for each of the two layers; EQ1 and EQ2), which is meant to roughly edit the sound. It also carries a LowPass Filter (LP1) which can be linked to velocity in order to dampen higher frequencies on lower dynamics.

sounds great

I am a sucker for tuned percussion, especially glass / metal, and Talua has both of these in abundance. It sounds great. Many (if not most) of the patches come pretty heavily effected, which (usually) makes it sound great right off the bat when you're previewing sounds in isolation, though it can take some tweaking (especially removing the reverb) to get it to sit right in your mix. I also find it slightly annoying that so many patches have delays on them (I know how to add a delay on my own, thanks).But minor gripes aside, this library sounds great.

Dreamy!

I love the sound of this instrument. It has amazing bells, pads, and atmospheric samples. The interface is intuitive and built in effects are actually quite nice (this has not been my experience with other "built-in" effects). And to top it off, the price is right!
